When the ceremony was over, Shepard walked to the middle position, looked at the two new priests first, and praised: "Natalie and Rook, you have done very well, now go to Captain Hunter, he and Krama will arrange your next combat training, remember!" The Messenger of our Lord is not afraid of any challenge, whether it is preaching or fighting! ”

Natalie and Rook are both ordinary looking peasant boys, and their daily routine and rigorous homework have made them have some changes, but this change is not prominent, and after being praised by Shepard at this moment, they should be red and excited, and then leave the ashram through the side door.

The rest of the people were a little nervous, Shepard looked at them, his expression was serious but not stern, he said calmly: "You must remember the teachings of my lord, reflect on your hearts every day, and sweep away those ungodly corners or shadows, I believe that you will all become qualified messengers of the Lord, if you have any hesitation or doubt, you can also ask Evie Saint and Priest Haku for help, if they can't help it, you can also come to me." ”

After a pause, Shepard added: "Remember, you must face your own heart, my Lord can forgive the mistakes caused by the lack of wisdom of believers, but he will not tolerate foolishness or deception of self-inflicted wisdom. ”

When the sermon was finished, everyone ended with a prayer in unison, and then they dispersed.

"Filina stays." Shepard suddenly spoke, Filina was shocked when she heard this, and silently walked to the side, and the other people didn't dare to look at it, and left the quiet room quietly.

When everyone was done, Shepard pulled Filina from the other side to a small room, which contained only a single bed and a desk and a chair with a backrest, which was his own small lounge.

Filina looked at the bed a little nervously, then at Shepard, and said embarrassedly: "Shepard, are you ......?"

"What do you want?" Shepard deliberately lowered his tone a little more, and waited until Filina was relieved, then he grabbed her hand and said softly, "Your mood is very unstable, is it because of Evie?" ”

Filina's eyes suddenly turned red: "No...... No, it's me lately, a little, a little uncomfortable......"

Shepard grabbed Filina's Rouyi with one hand, and gently stroked her back with the other, comforting: "You know, that's what my lord means, and what my lord means is what I mean, but what I mean is not what the lord wants, do you understand the difference?" ”

Filina thought for a moment, leaned her head on Shepard's shoulder, and whispered, "I know, Evie is younger than me, and ...... Pure, but I don't care about that, I just want to serve the Lord, I can ...... Serve you, and I will be satisfied. ”

The last sentence was said in an unusually low voice, and Shepard deliberately sighed in her ear, tickling her, and then whispered in her ear: "Don't go to bed too early tonight, I'll go look for you." ”

Seeing that Filina broke into tears and laughed, blushing and not speaking, he laughed and slapped his big hand on Filina's buttocks, Filina screamed, jumped up like a little rabbit, and ran out without daring to look back.

When the room was quiet and the sound of the partition sliding sounded, Evie quietly walked in through the dark passage, sat on the bed and leaned on Shepard's arms, and looked up at him: "Finished comforting?" ”

Shepard gently pecked Evie's pink mouth and nodded.

The girl twisted her body and blushed and gradually fell down.

Shepard took a long breath and said with pleasure: Sure enough, religion is a good thing.

Early the next morning, Shepard, who had come to the sanctuary, was surprised to see Mufasa praying.

The sanctuary was divided into two floors, the upper floor was dedicated to the prayer room and Shepard's small resting room for church members, and the lower floor was a place for all the faithful, and all the superfluous partitions and decorations in the original house were removed, and it was impossible to hang all kinds of bright and expensive silks like the Church of the Gods in the Old World because of the lack of excellent sewing and weaving skills.

Therefore, Shepard ordered a sufficient number of light openings in the walls, and carved the holy emblem on the walls, which also made the sanctuary look extremely holy and solemn under sufficient light.

The tall statue of the god is more than a man tall and decorated with precious stones and jewels offered by the faithful as well as some colorful minerals, and the definition of the "Church of Light" is rooted in the majority of believers, so although it accepts the offerings of believers, it neither encourages excessive giving, nor does the church and clergy allow them to obtain finances from believers in any way.

Under Shepard's direct control and the good atmosphere of the new church, there have not been any irregularities that would have angered him.

Many benches and futons were placed in an orderly manner in front of the statues, and many devout believers came to the sanctuary early in the morning to pray, and the back of one of the strong men was recognized as Mufasa, the mayor of the town.

Shepard walked over to Mufasa and sat down, and when he saw his townsfolk greeting him, he smiled and responded one by one, and motioned for everyone to keep quiet, then looked at the tall idol that resembled his own appearance, and said softly, "It's gratifying that the mayor of the town has time to come to the sanctuary to pray so early." ”

Mufasa closed his eyes and finished reading the hymn intently, then he turned his head to look at Shepard and said, "Dear Pope, I have always been a devout believer in the Lord, and you are not the demeanor of a servant of the Lord. ”

Shepard apologized, "I was rude." ”

Mufasa shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm here to inform the Pope of something. ”

"What's the news?"

"Lord Samba has asked us to provide warriors to join him in his assault on [Lothric Town]."

Shepard sneered when he heard this: "Lord Lord can't sit still, right? I heard that there are also many believers who believe in our lord in the [Fire Town] directly under him, and the call for the church to settle in is getting louder and louder, and at this time he said that he is going to attack [Lothric Town]? Is this looking for death? ”

Mufasa shrugged: "I already know what level our lord is, if it wasn't for Sataru who kept doing things, I wouldn't have forced the townspeople to participate in his hellish battle, and as a result, the father of the killed Hunter died in battle, and he couldn't even get the body back." ”

Shepard frowned: "What's the situation with Lothric's side falling to the ground?" ”

Mufasa's expression twitched, and he said in a low voice: "I have inquired, the lord of Lustric, who believes in a man named Skar...... of the man-eating flower, so he will go to war every once in a while, and the captured prisoners are used to feed the man-eating flower, and if the nearby lords don't want him to take the initiative to start a war, they have to arrange for people to go to death. ”

Shepard raised his eyebrows: "Can't you join forces against him?" ”

Mufasa smiled bitterly: "Who wouldn't want to...... Do you know how Samba became a lord? It was because his previous lord called many people to crusade...... As a result, less than one adult was left to die, and the lord was also killed in battle, and Samba was on the throne. ”

It's not going to be easy to deal with...... I haven't heard of this man-eating flower game either.,It doesn't seem to be strong.。 Shepard frowned and asked, "Do you know anything about that man-eating flower Skar?" ”

Mufasa thought for a moment: "I remember that when the last lord went to crusade, it was the lord who deliberately opened the door and let them in, but when they were about to kill the temple, suddenly countless branches attacked them...... There was chaos, and then there were many casualties. ”

'Geographical Spirit...... Indeed, many natural spirits are not good at moving, and after eating so many people, it seems that the possibility of this guy having a divine incarnation is negligible, and my priesthood and strength are just right to restrain him, so it seems that there is no need to worry about it first. ’

Shepard's expression relaxed, and Mufasa looked at him curiously, but saw him suddenly say: "Tell Samba's side, we won't send anyone in this battle, and I also suggest that he don't send people, if there is any problem, I'll talk to you, I won't see him, and when the time is right, I'll solve the problem of Lothric." ”

Shepard's understated response made Mufasa a little unsure: "This ...... Do you ask, what God means......

Shepard glanced at him and said lightly: "This kind of trivial matter, there is no need to trouble my master. ”

This time he suppressed Mufasa, so that he didn't dare to ask anything more.

After the prayers, the townsfolk left, and Mufasa said goodbye, he still had his own business to do.

Shepard sat for a while before getting up and walking to the second floor.

*

Taichong has become the existence of the mascot of the town, this spiritual and majestic dog unexpectedly likes to play with the children, after a long time, the townspeople are also relieved to throw the child to it to take care of, whether it is falling into the water or breaking the palm, this true god pet can solve the problem perfectly.

The townspeople liked it very much, and it indirectly increased the prestige of the church among the people, and even in other towns, some people began to know the famous big dog in Yanan Town.

Taichong, who was lazily basking in the sun next to the sanctuary, was sleeping peacefully, letting the naughty children crawl around on it, its strength was strong enough to wrestle with the running buffalo, and it was just a drizzle to burden these human children.

Suddenly, Tai Chong opened his eyes, first patiently shook off the child hanging on his body, and then rushed to the front of the sanctuary, first screamed twice at the second floor, and then turned and barked in the direction of the front door of the town.

Shepard, who received the alarm, walked up to the balcony, looked at the empty path between the front gate of the village and the woods, and shouted to the training ground on the other side: "Khanty! Kramer! ”

The two men, who were training the temple guards, hurriedly walked over and asked Shepard, "Your Excellency, what are your instructions?" ”

Shepard pointed at Taigong: "Hunter, you take a team and follow Taigong, it will lead you to find the target, there should be an undead; Krama, you send someone to inform the militia, pay attention to the vigilance, and watch the front and back doors of the town. ”

After thinking about it, he said again: "Take Haku and Luke with you!" It's time for both of them to work out, remember to put safety first! Taichong will protect you! ”

Khan and Kramar understood, and hurriedly arranged according to Shepard's orders.
